I like the idea about telling her you're going to watch certain things at specific times when you want the better TV. She should understand that you want better image quality to watch your games. If you're really unable to watch the games you want on your TV, offer to watch them at a bar instead - chances are she'd rather see you at home.
For the record, it's possible to get an internet connection in the absence of cable TV channels through most providers, just need to avoid the package deals. It's generally inexpensive. We've given up on TV all together - we can watch most things on Netflix & Hulu, and my husband is able to watch his favorite college sports games through some random streaming sites like Justin TV. It's not too challenging to hook up a computer to a newish flatscreen TV. Having a yearly subscription to Netflix is far cheaper than cable. Something to think about.
